Ticket to Work

Employment Network (more commonly known as the Ticket-to-Work Program)

The Ticket-to-Work and Self-Sufficiency Program was created to give Social Security disability beneficiaries an avenue to achieve economic self-support through work. CMJTS is an employment network and, as such, is able to accept social security or social security disability beneficiaries’ tickets. CMJTS staff provide career guidance, assessment completion, and assistance to ensure a successful transition to employment. One goal of the program is to eliminate dependency on social security benefits. CMJTS has a certified work incentive counselor on staff, Tera, who is able to provide participants with a detailed analysis and explanation of how employment will affect social security benefits. The Ticket-to-Work program is for 18-64 years of age individuals that are “ticket eligible.”
